Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals improved survival rates in left main PCI with optical coherence tomography, suggesting a potential shift in clinical practice.

Key Points

OCT-guided PCI shows a trend towards improved survival compared to angiographic guidance alone.
Kaplan-Meier analysis indicates higher survival probability for patients receiving OCT guidance, with a log-rank p value of 0.034.
This retrospective study analyzed outcomes in 221 patients treated for left main disease between 2013 and 2024.
Findings suggest that OCT may reduce mortality, highlighting the need for further prospective research on its long-term benefits.
